Karen Nye - Fitness Coordinator

Active adults at Willow Valley sing the praises of our kick-boxing champ/karate black belt instructor, Karen Nye. 

Karen met her husband while learning karate and then, after the birth of her son, decided to try competition as a way to get back into "fighting shape." A win in her first bout as an amateur kickboxer prompted her to try boxing.  Now, with nine professional boxing and two kickboxing matches under her (Black) belt, Karen's inspiring our Residents almost as much as they inspire her.

Karen's weight training and aquatics expertise make workouts more productive and fun.  Between reps, you might even ask Karen about her winning boxing bouts in Miami, Quebec, and the Tropicana Casino in Atlantic, NJ.
